A question of style

Graffiti writing between art/theory and practice. Present the contributions of the conference held in Rome at the Museo Laboratorio Arte Contemporanea (MLAC) at Sapienza University in April 2022. There international scholars and experts in the field of graffiti writing as well as renowned writers from Rome and Milan came together for intense discussion and exchange. Texts and images present current research and answer the two apparently distant but somehow interconnected fields of art history and graffiti writing.

In April 2022, the conference “A Question of Style” took place at MLAC in Rome, whose contributors did present the current research and tried to answer the question of style between the two fields of art history and graffiti writing. All contributions have now been published in the book A QUESTION OF STYLE: Graffiti writing between art/theory and practice.
